Crushing ignorance

By now you may be aware that "the Crocodile Hunter" is dead.

Cribbing from a journal entry I read elsewhere today, I ask you this: can you name one soldier from your country (assuming yours is a member of the coalition of the 'willing') who has died in Iraq?

Yeah, I can't.

Pat Tillman died in Afghanistan, and Jill Carroll was a journalist who was held captive for a long period of time, but I can't name one American service person who has died in Iraq.

Damn.
